Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, coat them well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Grill, pan-sear, or bake chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Serve the Dish: Allow chicken to rest before slicing. Serve it over rice, quinoa, or salad greens, or in warm tortillas topped with mango salsa.
